Starfucks (Starbucks nickname)
Starbucks Coffee Company is a coffeehouse chain that began in Seattle, Washington in 1971. There are many Starbucks outlets in New York City, especially in Manhattan.
The Starbucks nickname of “Starfucks” (the curse word indicates that it’s derogatory) has been cited in print since at least 1995.
Other Starbucks nicknames include “Charbucks” (since 1994), “Fourbucks”/“Fivebucks” (since 1998) and “Starbugs” (since 2012).

They take the money sometimes out of the country, even. Every Starfucks looks the same, every starfucks serve the same drinks. It’s digusting! It may be just a fun little project to you, but it could be the end of many Swedish businesses. I say DIE STARBUCKS, DIE!!!!!!
